The PDP National Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh has underrated the achievements of Lagos State governor, Tunde Fashola, saying that the Lagos governor is only enjoying the patronage of the media.
Speaking in an interview with journalists in Abuja, Metuh said seven rebel PDP governors, as well as the Governor of Akwa Ibom, Godswill Akpabio had done better than and that the PDP was proud of the rebel governors despite their current political outlook.
“I disagree with the view that Fashola is the best governor in Nigeria. There are PDP governors who did better than Fashola in terms of delivering dividends of democracy to their people. Have you been to Akwa Ibom, Jigawa, Cross Rivers and some other states that are being ruled by PDP governors?” Metuh said.
He added, “The seven governors that said they had left the PDP are all great achievers. They have done well in their respective states and we are proud of them.
“The only grievance we have against them is that if they express the same commitment with which they transformed their states to the PDP, our party would have been greater.
“How can you say Fashola has performed better than our governors? I think the problem is that we don’t go to the media to shout. You need to visit those states and see the kind of development I am talking about.”
